– After facebook contact with a good friend from WPKN radio, where I used to hang out, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, about 50 miles from NYC, I wiggled a few wires and got the speakers back at something like peak sound and listened to a couple things.\u00a0 – But I have to tell you, an airing of last year’s Thanksgiving (U.S. dates) program from First Voices Indigenous Radio knocked me out. It was that good. Tiokasin Ghosthorse played a recording of John Trudell of the Dakota Nation from Thanksgiving 1980. He talks about the difference between real power and brutality, and described the tactics that corporate amerika uses to convince good people that it’s hopeless to try to resist their ‘progress’ as they enslave and exploit us all. John Trudell also tells us that if we are true to the earth, the Earth will protect us.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an amazing talk and if this link works, I will encourage everybody to listen to it- *\u00a0 Link<\/a>\u00a0 * you will have to open the page and click on “First Voices Indigenous Radio November 21, 2013 [dot] mp3. –\u00a0 It should be more than worth listening to.<\/span><\/p>\n

-Polaris, “Let’s Encrypt” Will mean more ubiquitous Web Encryption and Privacy- Article below:
<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

{ – The state of Internet\u00a0security and infrastructure\u00a0has been rapidly changing of late\u00a0in response to concerns about online privacy and security (i.e.,\u00a0surveillance revelations and extensive security breaches), and a series of announcements over the past several days have put a lot of momentum behind possible solutions.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Mozilla and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)\u00a0announced \u201cLet\u2019s Encrypt,\u201d their collaboration<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Cisco, Akamai, IdenTrust, and researchers at the University of Michigan\u00a0in attempt to take the first big step towards a more universally secure Internet. One of the biggest weaknesses in the underlying architecture of the web as it exists currently is the highly\u00a0bureaucratic and complex (not to mention costly) system required for websites to obtain and deploy the SSL\/TSL\u00a0certificates needed to\u00a0protect\u00a0your web surfing experience (these are the basic pieces of information that allow the little lock icon to work in your browser, signaling your session is private and secure). \u201cLet\u2019s Encrypt\u201d will extend these digital certificates to\u00a0all websites<\/em> by starting an easy-to-use and free-of-charge certificate authority that issues them;<\/em> this means that web encryption will not just\u00a0be available to big players like banking services or email\u00a0providers, but will set a much higher\u00a0bar\u00a0for Internet security across all websites, regardless of their ability to pay for a certificate or properly install it.<\/p>\n

We are strong, adamant supporters of this initiative and are excitedly awaiting\u00a0it\u2019s unveiling in 2015<\/a>\u00a0under\u00a0a\u00a0new nonprofit\u00a0called the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).<\/p>\n

In addition to this,\u00a0Mozilla announced<\/a>\u00a0it\u2019s own strategic privacy initiative in collaboration the Tor Project and CDT. We\u2019ll be consulting\u00a0\u201con privacy technology, open standards, and future product collaborations\u201d<\/a>\u00a0with the open-source browser to help it\u00a0more effectively and appropriately bring privacy features into its products.\u00a0\u201cWe want to accelerate pragmatic and user-focused advances in privacy technology for the Web, giving users more control, awareness and protection in their Web experiences,\u201d\u00a0the company explained via\u00a0its privacy blog<\/a>. – We believe in the possibilities that privacy innovations\u00a0could make possible, and are excited and honored to be a part of the process. – What do these changes mean for the short- and long- term future of the security of the Internet? – There will soon be no excuses for\u00a0not baking encryption into web services, and in turn, consumer privacy and protection into the tools we use to navigate the digital highway.\u00a0 – }<\/p>\n

\"WikiLeaks\"<\/a>

-Julian Assange’s Whistleblower Foundation has new members- Whistleblowers in general are peole who subscribe to higher standards of ethics and morality than their bosses or supervisors or government authoritarian types and are usually shocked to find out that lots of people do not back them up when they seek help because they’ve reported an injustice, or worse- and been ‘rewarded by being fired or even charged with crimes against corporations that the ‘justice system’, instead of locking up the bad guys, turns out to be protecting from the good guys, Constables got their start as enforcers for corrupt officials, corrupt ‘Nobles’ and ‘Royals’. When ‘serve and protect becomes law enforcement- that’s bad news for everybody.\u00a0\u00a0 —djo—
